About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do only what is both important and fun!

ABOUT ME

I don't like writing about myself, but I'm happy to talk about myself if you ask good questions. ("All about you" is not a good question!). I'll give you some random bits. I moved to Norway last year. I work as a researcher and educator. There's a fine balance between despairing of and celebrating the world. I don't eat animals. I write with a mish-mash of American and Canadian spelling. I spend too much time on the internet. After living in international communities and collectives for many years, I'm surprised at how much I love living in a beautiful little apartment with no one but my partner. I love dogs.
